Sunday Synopsis: 2011 February 13th

Missed posting a Sunday Synopsis for last week. We had some house repair issues that needed immediate attention which left me rather scattered. However, I am regrouping. I started out mulley-grubbing about not getting anything accomplished. This morning when I sad down a made my writing/blogging/genealogy To Do List for the week, I realized that I had done some work --- without even being aware of working.

I have ruffed-out two piece that I think will become polished stories, essays or blogs.

I also poked a bit at my Uncle Ralph Letters; I had thought that I would just download to Blurb and print. However, there are some problems. I have a definite image of the finished product and Blurb just isn't going to be the vehicle. So I am cross-checking my blog with my Word documents; I made many edits on the blog after I copied and pasted to my blog from the original documents. In addition, I have to figure out the best way to index the letters.

My intent for the upcoming week is to complete or work on the following:

1 - Re: Uncle Ralph's letters (this may take weeks to complete):
* Work on getting my original Word copy verified with the Blog copy
* Update my Scribus publishing program
* Send our A Release for the few living family members mentioned in the letters. I have verbal approval but I want a signed written copy for my files.
* Draft a request for "reader" (persons who would be willing to read all or portions of the Letters before it goes to print.
* Find a source or someone who knows about indexing a document of this length.
